Description

The invention relates to a wing for an industrial vehicle, which ends with a bend (convex section) consistent with the shape of the tire in the shoulders directed downward to the road surface, and also to an industrial vehicle that is equipped with at least one wing according to the invention.

DE 102008019166 A1 discloses a wing for closing at least one wheel of an industrial vehicle, which has at least one wing part, which should be located at a distance from the outer circumference of the car wheel. Moreover, the wing is matched with at least one container, which is, in particular, a cylinder for compressed air. The wing is made in the form of an extruded profile with at least one hollow chamber into which a container, in particular a compressed air cylinder, is integrated. Practice further shows that, in particular, a chock, depending on the type of vehicle, is located in various places on the vehicle. Therefore, it would be desirable to create one place on an industrial vehicle in which a wheel chock can be placed in a standard manner, regardless of the size and equipment of an industrial vehicle.

This problem is solved according to the invention by the fact that on the outer side of the bend (convex section) of the wing there is a specific auxiliary compartment with a hole for receiving a recoil stop. Moreover, the wing is located according to the invention on each wheel of the controlled or uncontrolled axis of an industrial vehicle. For example, in the case of twin tires, several wings can be located next to each other and connected to each other. The wing, including its shoulders pointing down towards the road surface, can be made as a whole or have a central part on which the corresponding shoulder is located front and rear with the possibility of separation. The wing is aligned with the surface of the wheel and the diameter of the wheel. Parts of the lighting device or license plate may be placed on the back shoulder. The wing is fixed motionless relative to the frame or is fixed indirectly on the frame through the holder. However, it is also possible the location of the wing on the wheel stand. According to this invention, the wing covers at least in some areas the tread of the wheel and covers, when viewed in the direction of movement, at least on one side on some areas also the side surface of the wheel. The auxiliary compartment is intended, in addition to receiving the wheel chock, for example, also to accommodate an anti-skid chain or as a compartment for tools. The auxiliary compartment has an opening which, when viewed in the direction of travel, is directed upward or towards the outside of the vehicle, so that the wheel chock can be inserted either from above or from the side into the auxiliary compartment according to the invention. The auxiliary compartment can be, for example, in a bus, covered by a part of the body and is accessible only after opening the damper in the body. In trucks with several axles located one after another, several wings equipped with at least one auxiliary compartment can be arranged one after another.

In another embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the interior of the auxiliary compartment is aligned with the recoil stop to be received. The wheel chock according to the invention, when viewed from the side, has a substantially flat main surface, which, when used, is adjacent to the ground, as well as a convex and consistent with the outer circumference of the wheel wheel bearing surface, to which, in use, the wheel is adjacent and which extends under acute angle to the bottom (i.e. for interaction with the ground) side. When viewed from the side, the rear of the wheel chock connects the bottom side of the stop with the wheel bearing side. The auxiliary compartment of the wing is made in shape and periphery, as well as with respect to the inclination of the side surface so that in the auxiliary compartment, recoil stops of various sizes can be placed. In the auxiliary compartment, fixing means are provided by which the wheel chock is held without danger of loss. In addition, the auxiliary compartment has damping elements that prevent knocking of the wheel chock in the auxiliary compartment.

In one other embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the auxiliary compartment has a hinged lid installed. The closing lid may cover the opening of the auxiliary compartment partially or completely. Completely closing the opening of the auxiliary compartment prevents moisture from entering the auxiliary compartment, whereby corrosion of the auxiliary compartment or the recoil stop can be counteracted. In addition, openings may be provided in the auxiliary compartment, through which penetrated spray water can flow.

In one other embodiment of the invention, it is provided that one wall of the auxiliary compartment is integrated into the wing. Depending on the design of the wing of metal or plastic, the wall of the auxiliary compartment may be molded or formed on the wing. The wing and auxiliary compartment can also be made in the form of a solid fittings.

In addition, it is also possible that the auxiliary compartment consists of a container to be fixed to the outer wall of the wing. The container can be screwed, riveted or welded to the wing. Hereinafter, the outer wall of the wing is also called the outer side.

In one other embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the auxiliary compartment has a rear wall aligned with the bend of the wing. The rear wall is aligned in its width and curvature with the bend of the wing. This is the case for cars with single or double tires.

In one additional embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the auxiliary compartment is located on the front and / or rear side of the wing. Depending on whether it is necessary to protect the front or rear side of the wheel against recoil, the driver thereby has a corresponding wheel chock on each side of the wheel. The front, respectively the rear side of the wing is hereinafter referred to as the front shoulder, respectively, the rear shoulder.

It is further provided that at least one of the walls of the auxiliary compartment has a rib for entering the congruent groove on one side of the recoil stop. In this case, the groove may be located in the lower surface, the surface for supporting the wheel or in the rear side of the wheel chock. The groove and rib can be located in the direction of movement of the wheel or across the tread of the wheel. A locking device may be provided in the groove, on the rib, or anywhere in the auxiliary compartment, which prevents the wheel chock from falling out of the auxiliary compartment.

In one other embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the auxiliary compartment with two wings located one after another is located in the intermediate space between the oppositely directed bends of both wings. The auxiliary compartments may abut against each other wall to wall or have common walls. Both auxiliary compartments of successive wings can be connected to each other by means of a tongue and groove connection.

In addition, it is provided that an industrial vehicle (i.e., bus, truck, trailer, etc.) has wings on its wheels in accordance with paragraphs 1-9 of the claims.
